8 People You Will Fall In Love With In First Year Of College

We all remember our first college romance, how and why it ended. There’s something about moving out of home, meeting new people and experiencing numerous things on your own for the very first time that does some strange things to the heart. At college you’re likely to fall in love more times than Charlotte from Sex In The City. Here are the 8 guys you’re likely to fall in love with during your college life. 1. Mr. Societies You spotted him handing out information leaflets on your first day of college and you just can't stop 'bumping' into him around campus, (accidentally on purpose). He’s so involved in making college life easier, what a champ. You will sadly fall out of love with him when you realise he is more into his societies than anything else. 2.  The Erasmus Student You found his broken English adorable and loved spending quality time getting to know him over ‘intellectual coffees’… until you realised they were not a thing and Skype calling was no basis for a healthy relationship. 3. The Jock He is on the college sports team and you find his dedication to the cause i.e. The hours he spends working out in gym facilities, admirable. You find yourself reading the pages of the college newspaper to see the sports fixtures and you decide that it is time you too joined the gym. It isn’t long before you get fed up, as his nights out are curtailed and the drinking ban kicks in. 4. The College Heartthrob They say beauty is the eye of the beholder and it appears the just about everyone else in college is holding the exact same thing… The college heartthrob is loved by all and although you now follow each other on Twitter and have exchanged sneaky DMs, you soon realise he’s got a few very attractive looking friends that are much more up for the craic. 5. Childhood Sweetheart You’ve known him your entire life. You remember when you teased him at school about the girl he first kissed and now you’ve the urge to smooch him yourself. You both question whether you’ve missed the biggest romance of your entire life, until things turn sour when you’ve your first night out alone with your new classmates and you agree it is best just leave it as friends. 6. The Guy On The Train The commute to college is that little bit easier because you’ve made a connection with a guy on the train. When we say connection, we really mean eye contact. Simple, basic, no physical, eye contact, purely because you are too terrified to actually approach him and have a real conversation. Instead you settled for the exchange of pleasantries, and don’t forget that one day you actually sat next to each other… Fate! Your love is cut short when he finally got that apartment he was looking at in the city and therefore had no longer a reason to commute. 7. Mr Popularity Ah, the man about campus. There isn’t a person in college that doesn’t know his face and everyone wants to be friends with them, others, you included, want to be a little more than just friends. You will eventually take off your rose tinted glasses and come to terms with the fact that you’re not comfortable sharing him with everyone else. 8. The Neighbour You’ve settled in nicely to your new home and you’re settling in even better at the house next door… Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, with a little understanding you can find the perfect blend. Neighbours, should be there for one another, that's when good neighbours become good friends. Very good friends, until you move. Sometimes distance doesn’t make the heart grow fonder and the closest contact you now have is an odd ‘like’ on Facebook.
